I noticed my Walmart is also devoid of the liquid chlorine, as well as most summer stuff. I'd guess it's gone for the season here in the NE, especially as I'm seeing 'back to school' stuff. I find the regular shock etal is still available in the garden dept.

Crickey, what is Budweiser trying to do ... start some sort of interstellar war ?!? :)

Nope, no errors.

3450 ppm

Here's a better pic and I can see the ratings for production. So all I need to do is an ONPT and see if it's within reason. By all other measures it's working. I'll post those results when I get a chance to run the test. Also I've just got a solar cover put over the pool. Am I correct in...

I was trying to get the date code, I might have missed the info you wanted? I have previously noted that the IC40 seems to have been made in 2014, which would make it a replacement since the pool was installed in 2012. This might explain why the life used reading indicates 20% (which still...

I've been trying to get a handle on that number, how did you arrive at it ? I don't see any calculation on the pool math page. Is the app different from the webpage ? http://www.troublefreepool.com/calc.html

It seems that my IC40 is working, though I question why I have to set it to 75% and run the pump nearly 24/7 to keep a constant FC level. It's not like I'm in sunny AZ where my daytime chlorine loss would be expected to be high. I've seen other posts where a similarly size pool only runs their...

I want to thank all the people who gave their input in this thread. I now (even today) have a functional IFCS and ways to improve it. I've also learned quite a bit and have some food for thought. I could muse over fun things to "tinker" with nearly endlessly but for the purposes of the OP I...

It occurs to me (in a bit of insomnia) that if I take a big picture look at the in floor cleaning systems, and buy into automating (electrically) the valves, then maybe I should I into buy the whole farm. That is, bring the IFCS manifold under the electronic control. Add my wall jet...

The above is on my To Do list! I think it will take a different controller board though, as the 4 relays available on the existing unit are all presently in use. It could be that there is some digital I/O that could be used to switch some 5V relays but my initial understanding of the Jandy...

No need to apologize, I found the above to be very informative and interesting. You've collected my thoughts and summarized them, answering a question before I even asked it (jet orifices). I now have a project for the winter. :geek:

The Walmarts around here are 10% and at the above rate, $3.64/gal. Ocean State is a better deal at 12.5% and $11.94/case of 4 gals.
